Intimacy With God (Kit Dotson)
Fasting, prayer, silence, solitude, and journaling are all forms of worship, however, these and other disciplines never seem to take priority in our lives. This workshop will explore the importance of having an intimate relationship with Christ and will encourage you to be more attentive to God’s presence in your life. Kit Dotson will share many of these ancient practices with you in hopes that they may alter your life-as-usual and make you more intentionally aware of God’s continual work of grace in your life. |

MASTERpiece (Curtis Booher)
Long ago, God, the Master Artist, began thinking about how your life would look. He formed you with a plan and purpose in mind for your life. The Artist gave you passions, gifts, and skills that make you unique from anyone else He has created. Because of His great love for you, the Artist has been at work sculpting and chiseling the stuff that needs to be removed like pride, envy, greed, and anger so that you will better reflect the image of his Son. Come discover how you are a unique work of God’s creative art. Learn how God is at work in your life. Explore how you, as a masterpiece, can point back to the Artist.
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT

Illusion (Corri Richardson and Nickie Ball)
Do you remember playing Hide and Seek? It was great to find the spot where you couldn’t be found. Unfortunately, some of us play this game everyday. We hide behind false personalities, attitudes, emotions, and feelings hoping that no one will find us - or we want them to find us, but fear what they will think when they see the truth. What would our friends do if they found out who we really were? Or what had happened? Or what we’ve done? This workshop is a challenge to come out from hiding behind the false images and find the life God has designed. |

Leading Like Jesus (Phyllis Fox and Troy Petrie)
Jesus modeled how to love those you lead. Perhaps Dorothy of “The Wizard of Oz” learned a few leadership lessons from Jesus. Like the Rabbi, she walked beside her friends and taught them along the way. Dorothy was a good listener, an encourager, and she helped them to identify their gifts and passions even when they felt hopeless and afraid. Jesus taught the disciples through shared experiences as he called them to join in his mission. Discover how Jesus and Dorothy taught that the path to greatness begins when you serve others. |
